Tangled Temptations novel Chapter 22

Eloise was taken aback, completely surprised.

Orlena? Could she be in this hospital too?

Eloise slightly lifted her eyelids, and under the moonlight, she saw a couple engrossed in a passionate kiss.

Max was holding his fiancée tightly, cradling her face as if she were a precious gem. He was usually hot-tempered, but with Orlena, he was as gentle as a lamb. "This is the last time for tonight. You should go to sleep."

Orlena, with her arms around his neck and an innocent look in her eyes, teased him, "Max, we're engaged already. When will you sleep with me?"

Max wanted to brush off her request, but his gaze found Eloise in the corner. Eloise was standing in the hallway; she must have been watching for a while.

Max instantly pulled Orlena closer, not wanting her to notice Eloise. However, his gaze was fixed on Eloise. It was unexpected for Eloise to be saved. He had been ready to sacrifice her, but her luck was too good. She made it back safely.

How could Orlena know what was going on in Max's mind? She was lost in the sweet love, her delicate fingers gently traced his chest as she whispered, "Max, what are you waiting for?"

Max gave a vague reply. He wanted to see Eloise's reaction, but Eloise just smiled, quickly turning to leave.

A pang of anxiety struck Max. Eloise used to love him so much, she would get upset if he was even a little unhappy, doing everything she could to cheer him up. But now, even if he was about to sleep with someone else, she didn't seem to care!

He couldn't believe... couldn't believe that Eloise felt nothing!

"Do you really want this?"

Max's voice was flat and uninteresting. Then, he gently grabbed Orlena by her long hair, bending down to kiss her passionately. His kiss, with a hint of urgency, landed forcefully on her lips.
